From bbc sport Newport County have offered a compromise to Gillingham in a bid to end a three-week impasse over manager Justin Edinburgh's move to Priestfield. County accepted Gills' request to speak to Edinburgh about succeeding Peter Taylor, who was sacked in December. But Gillingham chairman Paul Scally refused to pay the six-figure sum stipulated in Edinburgh's contract. County have now informed the League One team they are willing to accept a lower figure for the former Tottenham player. Gillingham were originally told to more than double their initial offer for the man who in 2013 guided Newport back into the Football League. The 45-year-old was due to take County training again tomorrow before Saturday's League Two trip to AFC Wimbledon. But club bosses hope to bring a quick end to an episode that has been hanging over the club for three weeks when the team have lost three successive games. Despite telling County he wants to leave Rodney Parade, it had looked likely that Edinburgh was going to be in the dugout for the Wimbledon match. Edinburgh's current contract expires in the summer of 2016, but he recently verbally agreed a contract extension until 2017 after being linked to Gillingham following the sacking of Taylor. County made an excellent start to this season, but have faltered recently, failing to score a goal in their last three games. They sit 18th in the 24-team table. Edinburgh has said speculation about his future has affected his players' performances, though Newport are still in the League Two play-off zone.

Just a friendly warning. I think you can get into trouble for cutting and pasting from other sources, which it's why it's usual practice to post a link. I think its about copywrite
